The game is almost like the real thing. The graphis are awesome! The I especially love how the season schedules of every team are set in the franchise (if you begin your own season). The only problem with this game is that it takes up 59 blocks on a memory pack (an entire pack). Other wise, this is the greatest baseball game ever created!!

Now that ASB 2004 is out, I think you are better off buyiing that. ASB 2K3 does not include a manual instant replay and many other cool things.

okay

I know how bad the Memory Issue is when you have a great team and want to save. So the PS2 seams like the perfect solution. This is the best baseball game out there. But the learning curve takes a day. This game is based around realism so if an arcade sytle baseball game is what you want go to the Triple Play series.

Good, but Not Flawless

One of ASB2003's main draws is the franchise capability that allows a gamer to take their favorite MLB team through 20 consecutive seasons, watch favorite players retire, bring up new superstars from their farm leagues, and more, but doing so requires buying an extra, super-sized, non-Nintendo-approved memory card. Gamers not wishing to make the extra investment can still save an entire season on a standard memory card.

The graphics here are good, but not spectacular. They're sometimes choppy, at least on a 13" screen. The instant replay that automatically plays after each out grows old fast.

Pitching is a breeze, but the batting controls take a bit of getting used to. I'm usually adept at gaming controls, but this one took me a couple of games to conquer.

The commentators offer some interesting factual tidbits throughout the course of a game, but their comments when a player hits a home run quickly grow stale, and there have been times (in a game featuring the A's versus the Astros for instance) when they err in their play-by-play calls (strike one was called strike two and vice versa).

Still, ASB2003 has a lot to offer, and die-hard baseball fans won't be disappointed.

It's OK

After playing this game, I'd say it's ok. If you really need a baseball game this may suit your needs. I personally will be waiting for a new version from this company or from another company next year. The graphics are pretty good and the hitting and pitching interfaces are workable. The presentation is pretty good. For example, there are broken bats, players run to first base at a realistic speed and players dive and scale fences. There are many things about it that I don't like though. You can't create players in exhibition mode and you can't edit players in any mode. The manual says that once you create a player in the season mode, you can use him in any mode. That isn't true. You can't switch control of outfielders you can only use the guy who is highlighted by the computer even if another seems closer. In easy batting mode, you can't aim bunts. Pitchers get tired way too easily. You can't change camera angles and instant replay is only existant after every play. There are not enough options that you can adjust. The game is ok for now but I will definitely consider buying another baseball game next year. The many flaws of this game need to be worked out.

It's great! Buuuuuuuuut...........

Ok, here I go. I have been absorbed by ASB 2003 for the past month or so, and I say: go ahead, buy it! But that doesn't mean the game hasn't got its flaws! For instance, sometimes, no matter how long you let your pitchers warm up in the bullpen, they never get the whole stamina meter full. That brings me to that point: It is IMPOSSIBLE to pitch a CG (complete game, for those not familiarized with baseball lingo) with anyone!! The stamina level for pitchers runs out waaay too quickly. Another thing: sometimes, when an infield error is commited, and the ball is thrown into the stands, the play just keeps on going and if you happen to be on "D", score one for the CPU. I happen to agree with another reviewer who says the pitches are too fast! My strategy is to wear down pitchers so you can actually hit balls! They COULD have more commentaries on the game, and perhaps umpires....but overall a good game. I just hope 2004 overcomes those shortcomings. But hey, aside from that, this game is great!

best baseball game i've ever played

i've played baseball games on numerous systems, from sega to nintendo 64 to playstation to gamecube, and this is the best one i've played. the graphics are great...the players' faces look just about as real as you can get without standing next to them. the two complaints i have, however, are the obvious umpiring complaints and the discrepancy(sp) between the rookie and veteran talent levels. otherwise, i have no complaints about this game....well worth the money i paid for it.

Great baseball game (Yankees rule)!
